Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a mild Windows bias, primarily through references to Windows-style environment variables (e.g., %HADOOP_HOME%), storage paths, and mentions of Azure PowerShell as a data copy method. However, most configuration and example commands are platform-neutral (bash, Java tools), and Linux-compatible instructions are provided. Windows tools and conventions are mentioned before Linux equivalents in a few places, but Linux/macOS users can generally follow the guidance without significant friction.
Recommendations
  • Replace or supplement Windows-style environment variable references (e.g., %HADOOP_HOME%) with Linux/macOS equivalents ($HADOOP_HOME).
  • When listing tools for data copy (e.g., Azure PowerShell, ADLCopy, DistCp), present Linux-native tools first or provide parity in examples for both platforms.
  • Explicitly clarify that all bash and Java keytool commands are cross-platform and provide any necessary platform-specific notes.
  • Add explicit Linux/macOS examples where Windows tools (like PowerShell) are mentioned.
  • Review and balance the order of tool mentions to avoid implicit prioritization of Windows solutions.
